Antisemitic Act Investigated After Pig’s Head Found at Jewish Memorial in Germany

Authorities in Apolda, Thuringia, are investigating the placement of a pig’s head at a Holocaust memorial as a hate crime, with state leaders condemning the act.

A pig’s head was discovered in front of the Prager-Haus, a Holocaust memorial in Apolda, Thuringia, dedicated to a Jewish family murdered by the Nazis.
The incident occurred between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, according to local police reports.
The act is being treated as a case of Volksverhetzung (incitement to hatred), and the state security division is leading the investigation.
Thuringia's Minister-President Mario Voigt and Interior Minister Georg Maier strongly condemned the act, calling it a blatant expression of antisemitism with no place in society.
Police have urged the public to provide any information that could assist in identifying the perpetrators.
